The best way is to weld it. The cheapest way is to clean and rough up the surrounding area and then stick some quick steel over it.
 
If it's steel it should be a simple job to bash it back into shape and run a mig over the cracks..
 
cheers, i'll go practice me weldering then!! and then me rigging and lifting techneques!!
